“What better way to leave a labor of love memory for your children while you still have the ability to provide” Watson said.  

 

Great–grandson Jackson Stark is excited and ready to go. He just finished his last game with the 10 year old Bridgeport Tribe team Sunday and Watson said he can’t wait to see his favorite team in action - the Washington Nationals.  

Grandson Kyle, a two-sport letterman from Frankford High School said that this will give him a break from school and working as a lifeguard.  And son Ronnie, a retired police officer from Jacksonville FL, says that it is just quality time with "my pop."

 

Picture taking and memorabilia purchases will surely be the order of the day, Watson said.
